We are so happy with Brooklands Cove, it's a wonderful, friendly environment. The meals are all home made and there is a theme to each weeks learning but it's not restrictive. We get a daily report so we know what she's been up to and a development review each term. Grace is super responsive and very approachable. I have full confidence in leaving my little girl with her and most importantly though my little girl loves being there with her friends.

My little boy started at Brooklands Cove back in January this year and I am so pleased with the care and support he receives. The personal touch is amazing and every day my son comes home he has learnt something new. I would absolutely recommend Brooklands Cove, it is such a relief to know your child is safe and in good hands when you have to take that scary step of returning to work.

We have been using Brooklands Cove as our childcare setting for the last 8 months. Grace (and others) presently care for our 2 children who are 1 and 4 years old for 2 days per week. Having previously used only nurseries for childcare for our eldest, we were initially concerned about whether a childminder setting would be sufficiently structured however Grace is a truly amazing childminder. She clearly has a passion for the job and a genuine interest in child development/behaviour. She has always made herself available to discuss any concerns about the children. The days are structured and what we particularly love is how much outdoor time the children both have. Both of the children are thriving and love their days with Grace and the rest of the group (Grace works from her parents property and they too are lovely, kind people/Faye/Mia- the whole group are wonderful.) We could not recommend this setting more.
